I would be off-topic again if you assume I should exclusively be talking in this blog about homemade cat food recipes, but the importance of the subject brings me to talk about it here anyway, and if you want my oppinion, I think all what has to do with cat food should be going in this blog, and all that interests cat owners to a lesser extent.

Let's first introduce In-Vitro meat, this is laboratory grown muscle tissue or culture meat, it is animal tissue that has never been part of an actual living animal.You can also think of it as a meat tissue without a nervous system, which means eating it does not inflict pain to any living animal.

More information on in vitro meat can be found in this wikipedia page.

Meat analogue on the other hand is not meat at all! it is made of vegetable ingredients such as soja and beans, and treated to taste and smell somewhat like true meat. Some call it mock meat, faux meat, imitation meat, or meat substitute. It is believed to be already in commercial production in a form or another and used in many products such as luncheon mixed with real meat.

We already don't know (or not sure) wether vegetable meat is good or bad for cats, what we know is that they like it, and I myself give it to them regularly, it gives them at least some vitamins added to a good amount of fat, but we don't know how they actually process this food.

As for in-vitro meat, I am just waiting for it to arrive to feed it to my cats and even to eat it myself, it is real meat, no catch, it a considerable advace of science that we need to take and use, it is not even genetically modified (at least for now), there are no ethical problems associated to it, and even if humans are culturally not ready for it yet, I can certify it is the future of cat food, in some years when it will be more available, I hope to be the first out there to post an in-vitro meat based homemade cat food recipe.

For the first time since I started this cat recipes blog I will allow myself to go a little off-topic to announce the launch of my new cat stuff website, it's meant to be a useful online resource for all cat related stuff, including cat health, behaviour, supply, toys, beds, and all other cat furniture.As for any starting website, I will need your remarks and advices, so if you can drop me a mail, I will be very glad.Say meow to your cat ;)

More on homemade cat food:

In order to provide a better varied/rich cat diet than only canned food, you can prepare the recipes at home. you have, in this case, to be careful in balancing nutritional substances, because a cat diet that has only meat may cause some deficiencies. Too much liver, for instance, can poison them with vitamin A ( cats are not humans!). If you have a nourishing chart you can have a good composition of food items to make meals. The best is to feed cats with a diversified and constantly changing diet and cat food ingredients, some times meat, other times viscera, rice (mixed with other ingredients), chicken heads, then canned food but all of them enriched, for example, by the adition of cheese (see the cat food recipe made with cheese), green vegetables, egg whites, oat flakes and vitamin and mineral compounds.If you are new to homemade cat food, I suggest you have some reading in this website before you go planning your cat diet, do you love your cat enough to read enough about what it eats? sure you do, then go ahead and don't forget to tell your friends about this blog ;)
